The Southern Reach Trilogy by Jeff VanderMerr

[Martin]

Jeff VanderMeer was pretty pissed about the production delays on this volume, so I wouldn't be surprised if he never provided the bonus materials, especially if CD was having difficulties obtaining them earlier.

The book arrived today. it is really nice and has a slipcase that is nicer than most non-King productions from CD. The extra materials are not included. I find it interesting that with all the authors anger at the delays he could not get them the promised extra materials in a timely manner.

Just received a shipping notice with a tracking number! Am so happy to finally see this. This is my oldest pending pre-order, (placed my order on 02/28/2018). Does anyone know if they were able to include the bonus section as originally planned? I know that at one point there was a question as to whether or not it would be included but I never heard a definitive answer. I would personally be disappointed if it isn't included as there has been more than enough time to obtain that material or to replace it with something else.

Any updates on this title?

Nothing to report just yet. We haven't sent anything new to our main book printer since they closed in early April due to "essential business" restrictions in their state, and they're just getting back to full capacity now. We did start some books at our smaller printer since they were open, but they cannot handle books with bigger trim sizes or multiple editions like this.

I'm pretty sure I saw the signature sheets at the office today. The book itself is proofread. We've tried to get on the same page with the author about the bonus features, but he's been so busy with his new projects that we don't think he's had time to get anything together. We might have to go to press without bonus material, simply to get the book finished and to the collectors who have been patiently waiting so long.

Hi Brian, any update on if you’ll be shipping with special material? I know Jeff originally mentioned (years ago) the exclusive content would be ephemera/physical elements, so if you’re not shipping with it is there a chance you’ll be able to compile it later?

Thanks for the update Brian!

Hi CD,

Was wondering if you have a production update for this title yet? Last update from Brian on 07/16/19 stated that it was in a final round of proofreading to confirm everything has come together (see above). Has that proofreading been finished yet? Am anxious to see this title hit the printer. Also, if I am remembering correctly, this book is supposed to have top-secret bonus features. Were those features ever decided upon or announced; or, will that be something that isn't announced? As always, any info is appreciated.

I'm not sure about the proof reading. I know the last hold up I remember us talking about was the author still had the sig sheets. I don't know if those have come back yet or not. Brian can hopefully elaborate a bit more when he sees this.

This is a long shot but I was wondering if the CD lifetime subscriber who holds number 73 would be willing to switch with me when it comes to The Southern Reach Trilogy. I have no idea what number I'll be getting but I'd love to match my SubPress edition of Complete Borne. I totally understand if that's not something you're up for, 73.

[Brian James Freeman]

The final designed version of the book has come in at 648 pages, so it'll be a doorstop of a special edition! We only need one more round of proofreading to confirm everything has come together as expected with no glitches or errors introduced during design, and then this title will be ready for the printer.

Hi Brian,

Hope I'm not jumping the gun, but I wanted to check back and see if you have any updates on this title yet? I believe the last update was the cover-art reveal/to let us know the special features were being developed. Since then, haven't seen much movement. I did notice that the production updates page was updated again today; however, it looks like the same blurb as the past few updates for this title. I know you are currently backlogged due to your various printer issues; so, any info on this title is appreciated.

Totally my fault. I *have* that update and that cover art to post, and somehow just kept missing it when doing updates. I need to finish something else right now, but will circle back to that today!

Hi CD,

Been awhile since we've seen movement on this one. Any updates/ideas as to when we may see this title move forward in the production process? I believe the last update was the cover-art reveal/to let us know the special features were being developed. I know you are backlogged due to your various printer issues; so, any info is appreciated.

Both Dan and I are away from the office this week, but I’ll make sure I get an update on this one next week!
